It's not sincere. It's like appending -fag to everything; it's a way of being completely abrasive and shutting out anyone that's not already immersed in the memes and fucking with people.People who say that are people who don't actually read 4chan. Or are retarded. I mean obviously, there isn't actually any way to know what someone's motivation is from behind a bunch of vapid one-liners where half the words are 'nigger'. You might like to believe that they're just being 'ironic', because you don't want to think of yourself as laughing along at a bunch of racist jokes with a bunch of racists. But that doesn't make it true.
shutting out anyone that's not already immersedYou know who else it doesn't shut out? Actual fucking racists.
4chan's racism is not sincere in the sense that they are not, by and large, attacking people because of their race.That's not true at all, they absolutely do attack people (if by attack you mean insult and/or harass) people because of their race. Because they are racists.
Paris Hilton, you've been successfully trolled by /b/. You've just illustrated what I was talking about earlier: most objectionable stuff that comes out of 4chan is to piss off people like you and others that speak earnestly on the internet. -- Inspector.GadgetLike I said, If you don't think 4chan isn't racist, you either don't actually read it or are retarded.
As far as I know, they choose raid targets based on the (perceived) behaviour of those targets, rather than race. -- Busy Old FoolRight, because as I said, you either don't read 4chan or are retarded.
I'll thank you not to leap to wholly unsupported assumptions, particularly in charging someone with something that's widely considered despicable.Well I think it's pretty obvious. The only way you could really believe this was acceptable is if you were a racist. No offense. I mean I know it's popular these days to say you're not a racist, even this lady says she's "not a racist". (btw, when this was posted on 4chan along with her 'dox' the majority of the the posters said it was great and wanted personal information on the mailman so they could harass him -- and complained about using 4chan to "defend a nigger")
I think your concept of racism is reductive enough that you are actively discouraging discussion about the details of this issue.I think it's accurate though. It seems like the defenders of this stuff always say "but they don't really mean it" or say they are just trolling or whatever -- but how could they know? Do they actually know the people making these comments? Do they discuss their intent? My guess is no. And I also doubt most of the posters are even articulate enough to express that themselves.
it seems like you want everyone to never ever visit the place, and want to kill it with fire.What I want is for people to have an accurate perception of it. I realize that means some people apparently think I don't want it to exist. I don't think that's true, If you want to think that, that's fine. I don't really care.
